When comparing Far Cry and Crysis, yes the new engine will put the old one to shame in terms of graphic realism. But IMO, Far Cry still looks damn good to this day. Especially with the 64bit updates. Might be some hope for STALKER if the graphics engine is capable of scaling well with current and future GPU hardware.Frosteh said:Haha
Like so many other titles now a days, had it not been for MASSIVE delays in production it would have actually looked impressive for when it was released, I had a leaked alpha of this a LONG time ago and for the time it looked fantastic and it even ran well for the time.
Looking forward to S.T.A.L.K.E.R a few years ago was like looking forward to Crysis now.
Imagine if crysis is delayed 2 years, by the time its released its graphcis will be quite mediocre.
Shame because its such a massive wasted opportunity to produce something stunning, that doesn't happen too often now a days.

I'm pretty sure HDR was in several months prior to release, and got pulled for some reason. So it's not like they implemented it from scratch in a completed engine - the "completed" version was no doubt left with this addition in mind.belmicah said:I am amazed that the code was written years ago, not to mention they were able to recode for High Dynamic Range lighting.
I really doubt it, considering how long ago they started to code for the game (probably around 01-02). They do HDR differently than others do. You might be right about them "leaving with this addition in mind" though.LuminaryJanitor said:I'm pretty sure HDR was in several months prior to release, and got pulled for some reason.

Bloom was definitely in prior to release. I'm just not sure whether it was done via HDR or not. I'd guess it was pulled due to either difficulties with implementation or technical limitations, and I can't imagine either of these being a problem with non-HDR bloom.belmicah said:I really doubt it, considering how long ago they started to code for the game (probably around 01-02).

Errr...yeah, it's the hackers that delayed HL2...right...belmicah said:Half-Life 2 would have been released much sooner too, had it not been for hackers. I remember people bought ATI cards just for a coupon that sat on their desk for a LONG time. When it finally came out, it was badass. I am amazed that the code was written years ago, not to mention they were able to recode for High Dynamic Range lighting.
belmicah said:Nice link. I guess I stand corrected on at least the capabilities, but if it was held back SOOOOOOO long, why would it not then have HDR implemented?
How come Source can be coded for Nvidia to have HDR and AA modes, but other games can't?

Will require a 64-bit OS - XP 64, or 64-bit Vista, whatever they call that.tornadotsunamilife said:Does the 64 bit verson require using windows xp 64? or just a 64 bit processor?
